Mother's Day

Since Bacia's funeral was yesterday, we all decided Mother's Day was going to be very low key. As a matter of fact, I even said just skip it.

I didn't need any more flowers, since I brought home several arrangements from the funeral home. We all decided not to get together as we were all drained, physically and emotionally from the past week. I just wanted quiet and time with the kids and Dan.

I slept in - till 7:30! I had a card and a handpainted candle holder from Jared (a class project, of course!). William gave me a banana - because that is what Bobo the monkey from Go Diego, Go gave his Mom for Mother's Day. Hugs and kisses from Ari and Dan. And honestly, it was all I needed!

I caught up on grocery shopping (2 weeks since my last major shopping trip!) and laundry...oh my, the laundry....

And Dan took me out for mexican food. Will was the only off-spring to join us. Ari and Jared didn't feel like going out....and that was fine. Just about anything goes right now.

I am looking forward to things returning to normal after the past 2 weeks of chaos, sadness and grief. But really - I am not sure what that new normal will be like. It will be different from what normal meant to me 2 weeks ago since my previous idea of normal had Bacia in it *sigh*
